Stores by me very from relatively well stocked to poorly stocked, but they all have enough food to feed all that are shopping. The large grocery store a few blocks from my home has pretty much everything in good amounts and never really got that busy despite being only 2-3 miles form an IL border town that has become populated with rather undesirable people as well as gangs. but were out of hand soap, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes. They were low on bread, TP and PT's though.
The only item they had a limit on was two cases of bottled water.
The only stores near me in NW Indiana that were closed and then re-opened with police presence were a Sams club just over the border from me in IL and a super walmart in NW/IN which borders on south east Chitcago.
Both closed early last Tuesday due to being overwhelmed by customers.
They both are now open and well stocked and volume of customers has returned to normal.

Agreed - many are already practicing some form of isolation with trips outside the house only for work or other issues of necessity. My wife and I spend the vast majority of our time in the house or yard. We do take care of my wife's mother who is 78yo and housebound. I like to get out to exercise and break the boredom but avoid contact with people. It protects me and them from possible transmission.
I hate to say this but when people start dying, especially if they were healthy prior to the virus, I ll bet social distancing will become much more prevalent.... too bad that some folks have to see drastic things before complying. If it was only they re health being affected then have at it; unfortunately it can affect innocent bystanders.
I want to be quarantined to my house for 14 days. Man that'll be a nice vacation. Got all the food and goods we need . May even venture to the camp and stay for part of it . No electricity or in door plumbing there . It'd be rough but I believe me and mine would and will manage just fine. And no it really wouldn't be that rough

My apologies, I didn't pick that up in your post. I agree that more people need to a bit more cautious about this whole thing.
I'm very lucky where I live is larger tracks of land And fewer people as far as distance and self Quarantine etc. my Biggest vulnerability is my wife going to work other than that with the exception of groceries doctor visit auto parts I rarely leave my property anyway

a few days ago, I heard them talking about how they thought it couldn't affect the construction industry-- well guess what, a buddy is sitting at home today as the permit offices are all closed and they can't continue building without permits or inspections

Hey you'll think the TP situation is crazy, get this! I came home from a full day of work, 1/2 of it being out in this wonderful liquid sunshine we've been so wonderfully blessed with! Tied, wet, somewhat cold as I walked into the house upon which I hear a 22 cubic upright freezer making a horrible noise! The wife says... I think it's dying!!
We move stuff around to another freezer and fridge, compact and compressed to get as much saved as possible. I tell wife... keep the door closed and I'll go get a replacement in the morning.
This morning I proceed to Lowe's, walk back to the freezer section and a nice gentleman asks if he can help me. I told him I needed to by a freezer, his reply.... GOOD LUCK!
After extensive searching he found 1 freezer that had not been sold in the entire inventory, in stores & on the internet! Luckily I acquired it without having to resort to bodily harm! The salesman told me they had a couple that came in and bought 4 freezers!
As I was straping it down in the bed of my truck I heard... Is that a freezer? I turned around and stated yes. The lady threw a fit and stated... that was the LAST ONE! I said, yes ma'am. She was furious and stated that she had been there earlier and left without purchase. Before I could finish strapping it down I was asked if i wanted to sell it! Of course I said No, I actually have a need for one since mine went out last night.
Kind of hurriedly finished strapping it down while watching over my shoulder, wondering if I was going to have to fight my way out of the parking lot and home. WHAT HAS THIS WORLD CAME TOO!! BUCH OF CRAZY FOLKS OUT THERE!!! BE SAFE!
